It's a wise housewife who keeps an extra bottle of Bovril in reserve-in case of emergencies.
The Grocer isn't always handy, or isn't open it he is handy--and if there's need for Bovril, not infrequently it s a sudden need.
Bovril has, in addition, a score of.. uses in the kitchen. for putting flavour and goodness into the dishes the house- wife prepares,
There's no
need to run out for Bovril if you never allow yourself to run out of it.

MODERN, MARRIAGE.
YOUTH STILL READY FOR RESPONSIBILITY.
There is no topic on which people are so ready to discourse as that of marriage, nor is there any subject about which posi Live assertions are more frequent or, as a rule, more untrustworthy. Since the war it has frequently been stated that the age of marriage both for men and women, but specially for men, has considerably increased. The anxieties of the times and the depression prevailing in industry lent colour to this assertion, which is still very widely believed.
In his report, however, od. the Vital Statistics for 1921, the Registrar-General makes the positive statement that the ages Dow most frequently chosen for marriage are, in the case of men, twenty-four and, in the case of women, twenty-one Youth, in other wordi, is still ready to accept the full responsiblities of life in spite of all the dilieu ties which may beset its path. Not only so, but the pessimism which, a few years ago. foretold a decline in the totil cumber of marriages lus found no justi- ficution. The very bigbeat figure ever recorde was reached in 1920: in 1921- there was only a trifling declension. Indeed, except for the years 1915-19, the years of war" and the your 1920,

"When my baby was four months old he came out in sore eraptions
all over bis head. Later the eruptions spread 10 his body, fato," hands, and limbs, and he could not sleep day or night with the itching pains. We had him treated and "tried different soaps and cintments. But still we' could give him no relief. A friend recommend. ed Cuticura Soup and Ointment and before we had used one cake of Cu- tiara Soup and one box of Curseura Ointment he was completely heated." (Signed) Mrs. I. LI.

the rate just published has not been BOWERN & CO exceeded sinen 1874. These are signs of health in a community of the most unmis takable character, and afford solid ground for the idea that the stress and anxiet
through which, as a people, we have pused have in no way detracted from our idealism or weakened our resolve. These "handsome figures" should be set against the 9,522 cases of divorce or annulment of marriage which took place in the year under review. That number has not, it is stated, beon ex- ceeded in any former year; but it amounts to only an insignificant, proportion of the
total number of marriages, and may properly be regarded as a "casualty rate rather than as a symptom of if health. The present tendency to exagger ate every failure of marriage receives, in these Axures, a necessary corrective. The conclusion would seem to be warranted that, as a whole, marriage is a successful state state towards which youth is always straining, and in which, in spite of a multitude of difficulties and dangers, the rast majority of men and women in these islande live their lives in happiness and contentment.-The Times.
THE NUNS OF YPRES.
MR. T. P. O'CONNOR AND THE APPEAL.
The Nuns of Ypres, whose heroic services to our wounded in the 'war, the loss of their famous Abbey, and their great sacrifices in the common cause can never" be forgotten are still in need of £40,000 to establish a
taw propastio home nt Kylemore, Conperara.
Mr. T. P. O'Connor, chairman of tha executive committee, stated, in so interview recently, that circulars have been sent out in the naine of the Lord Mayor of London' and of many influential leaders of the appeal, notably Lord Fitzalan, Lord Burnham, and Lord Denbigh. "And I have issued a circular myself," he said, "to all my friends, mainly political. Subscriptions are coming in fairly well considering the immense dawands on the philanthropic: Mr. John MacCormack has promised to place the results of a big counert at the disposal of the Nuns, and arrangements are being made for the selection of the plac where it will take place; probably it will be in Dublin. It is also hoped that suine of the newspapers, will make a special upprul“ in addition to the kind assistance which they have placed at the disposal of the movenient all through.

"Great, interest has been shown in that side of the work of the Nuns during the war which dealt with their services to the wounded, and letters have been, sent by several of the men, who give the strongest testimony to and express the greatest gra- titude for want the Nuas did for them. These are being circulated. It has also been brought home to those who are specially interested in Ypres-and thou. sands of homes are, of course, included whose sons fought, and in innumerable cases died, up that great battle front -that the School of the Nuns would be a fitting i accessary monu- of the centre of the greatest struggle" of the war. And in view of the improved rélations between England and Ireland by the establishment of self. government, such a monument would be one of the many tukes of reconciliation. For it must always be remembered that the Naus of Ypres carried on the work of education both for English and Irish young ladies, for two centuries and a half; that their abbey always atrod in the centre
